Aroma Foundry Review & Gift Card Giveaway

100% PURE AND ALL NATURAL
ESSENTIAL OILS

Picture

Essential oils are used daily in my home. 
In our 2 diffusers and 1 at work, on our skin and in my nightly cleaning up the kitchen. 
They are great natural products with many benefits. 
Essential oils have no side effects when used for natural remedies. 
In a diffuser different essential oils and mixtures of essential oils do different things. 
I have a mixture I use for nights in our bedside diffuser and another for the living room diffuser that we turn on when coming home from a long day at work, calming us.
In our kitchen with homemade cleaning supplies I like to use lemon essential oil, it's a great scent and my counters are squeaky clean.

Aroma Foundry was created to bring the scents of the world into your home and end any debate over what each essential oil varietal should smell like. By focusing on sourcing NATIVE OILS, we eliminate questions of whether each scent smells like it should. We source oils where they are first known to have appeared, therefore they represent the true essence of the plant ingredient. We do not source from China and India, where it's hard to verify the question and supply chain of the ingredients. Much of our collection of high-end oils was grown in USA and acquired at a premium price. We do not pass on this cost to the consumer. Our sourcing, warehouse, and supply chain efficiency experience to sell high-end oils at prices competitive with the low-to-medium end of the market. Lastly, we worked for over a year to develop premium distinctive packaging that will stand out in the box when you receive it or on your desk or counter after you've opened it.

100% PURE & ALL NATURAL
MANDARIN
ESSENTIAL OIL
100% Pure and All Natural Italian Mandarin Oil, because Italy's mandarin is the most well-respected on Earth by aromatherapy, cosmetic, and flavoring experts. Ours is a remarkable example; we recommend buying with other citruses like orange and tangerine and smelling side-by-side to observe the subtle differences.
I use my mandarin essential oil for two things. 
One I love the smell of it. Sometimes when I have had a long day I use it in my downstairs diffuser. For me it releases stress and just sort of soothes me. Secondly and the main way I use this oil is for stomach issues. I have horrible stomach issues. It's perfect for treating things like diarrhea, constipation, flatulence and other such disorders related to
digestive and excretory systems. 
Also perfect for dry skin when added to a carrier oil. 
I add this into a roller bottle and rub on my stomach when needed, it's helped me a ton and goes with me everywhere. I no longer eat bad for you tums all day, this does the trick. 
100% PURE & ALL NATURAL
PATCHOULI
​ESSENTIAL OIL
100% pure and all-natural Indonesian Patchouli essential oil is distilled from the pink and white flowers of the cablan shrub. Earthy, dark cold, soily, and even a bit sweet, patchouli has a complex smell that never gets old. The Indonesian varietal is the most expensive and renowned in the world, and our bottle is 100% Pure and All Natural, so give it a try and experience the true essence of Patchouli.
This for me is by far the best scent/oil to have going in my diffuser no matter if my day is going good or bad at work. I keep a diffuser next to my desk and all day it's on with . Patchouli will uplift your mood, drives away disappointment, and relaxes tension. It just helps get me through the day,
no matter what sort of workday i'm having.

​100% PURE & ALL NATURAL
SAGE
ESSENTIAL OIL

Sage Oil is equal parts earthy and spicy, as it should be considering it's 100% Pure and All Natural. We hand-bottle and box it in California, so when you receive it you'll feel like you're opening a gift that you'll know was packaged with love.
Perfect for use with a carrier oil during bad sinus seasons or alone in a diffuser for the same reason. Sage oil has many good qualities like: Aids in digestion, eliminates scars, slows down the aging process, heals wounds, regulates menstrual cycles and more. Also smells great. 
Can be mixed with other oils like lavender and lemon for stress relief. 
100% PURE & ALL NATURAL
GRAPEFRUIT
ESSENTIAL OIL
The 100% Pure and All Natural tropical fragrance of our Florida Grapefruit Oil will energize and make you gleam. It's be hand bottled and boxed with love from equally sunny California, meaning this oil has gone from field to bottle in the USA.
I use this in my water every day for weight loss. It helps boost your metabolism and reduces appetite. I do think it works, at least for me I see a change in my eating habits. Sometimes I will add a few drops of patchouli oil, it's supposed to help lower cravings and hunger. You can also diffuse just the grapefruit or the combination of the two to help with hunger/food cravings. It works. 
Grapefruit essential oils has many other uses:
Stress Buster
Candida Killer
Natural Antibacterial
Hangover Cure
​Sugar Craving Stopper
Air Fresher and more

MPOWERD~ Luci Inflatable Solar Lights Review & 20% off Code

In 2012 MPOWERD created Luci®, an inflatable solar light, with the goal of making an affordable clean energy product that people could use in any situation — from outdoor camping adventures to backyard parties to everyday living for people in developing countries without electricity. 

Luci taps into a source of light that’s limitless and readily available to everyone on our planet — the sun. Advancements in renewable tech have given MPOWERD the means to literally put the power of the sun into a device that fits in the palm of your hand.

MPOWERD created Luci, their inflatable solar light, to empower the 1.5 billion people in the developing world who still live without electricity. In many places, as soon as the sun goes down, children can't study, entrepreneurs have to stop working, women are less safe walking outside, health clinics have to close... the list goes on. Kerosene lamps are the most common solution in these areas – but they are dangerous, toxic and expensive. 

Lightweight, easy to carry, and shining for hours on a single charge, Luci is a clean, safe and affordable way to bring light to the world.

I have two Luci Solar Inflatable lights and I love them to pieces. There are soooooo many ways they can be used. I have a Luci Candle Soft Amber LED light that is perfect for a soft ambiance. It casts plenty of light, enough to light up a tent or a room.  This is excellent for camping and power outages or even to just add a romantic touch. The Luci Candle has three modes, candle flicker, dim and bright. 
It is of course solar and charges fully in eight hours of direct sunlight. Once it is fully charged it will last for up to 12 hours. This super lightweight inflatable light only weights 2.2oz making it ideal for backpacking trips. It has a handle across the top so it is simple to hang and also tie onto your hiking pack. I recommend tying it to you pack where the sun hits it while you hike/climb during the day so that it is fully charged just in time for the sun to go down. 
​One of the coolest features is that these inflatable lights are waterproof. A little rain, drizzle or overnight dew won't hurt the Luci Solar Light one bit. So go ahead and decorate your outdoor party with these inflatable lights. I am typically too tired to clean up the night I have a BBQ or party. I love that I can leave my Luci Light outside over night and just dry it off the next day.
My other Luci Inflatable Solar Light is a really fun one. It's the Luci Color Essence. This lights up in eight different colors or you can choose the color cycle option and it will change colors all on its own.  I love this light for both kids and adult parties. 
The Luci Color Essence is about 2.5 inches bigger round than the Luci Candle.  It is 10.8 cm height, 12.7 cm diameter and super light weight. It's perfect for camping and hiking 
as well. It is incredibly light weight, only 4.4 oz and is waterproof. Once the Luci Color Essence is placed in full sun it only takes 7 hours to charge. I like to just leave this guy on my picnic table when I go camping so it will charge all day long and light up our camp space all night. The Lavender, violet, sky, powder, mint, lime, coral and rose add an excellent splash of color to any location and will last up to six hours. 
After you’ve used your light, and you don’t expect to be using it on a regular basis, there’s no harm in charging it all the way and then storing it away. A Luci Light will retain 95% of its charge for each month it's in storage. In other words, if you were to stow it away on January 1, you'd still have more than half the charge come October!
THE GIVE LUCI PROGRAM
Join us in delivering light all over the world. Purchase a Give Luci light for just $14.95 and our nonprofit partners will send it directly to someone living without access to electricity.
You can buy Luci Solar Inflatable Lights directly from their website and have them shipped right to you door. Free shipping on US orders over $25 plus Simple Side of Life readers can use code GETLUCI to get 20% off their first purchase.
Make sure you follow MPOWERD Inc on all of their social media sites to stay up to date with their newest designs and sales.

I am not a big fan of any type of bars, at least I didn't think I was until I tried Quest Beyond Cereal Protein Bar in Waffle Flavor. It was like eating a waffle, syrup and all. Excellent. Great consistency, Not dry, just perfectly good. I was very impressed and now want more. Good thing one of the coupons in my Keto Krate was for % off Quest Bar's. Order already placed. 
If we could, we’d have waffles for dinner. And lunch. And sure, breakfast, why not! That’s why we baked the sweet taste of maple syrup and the buttery flavor of fresh waffles into every bite of this crunchy new “uncereal” bar! Waffles. Allday. Everyday!

Durango Soda Company Inc. Zuberfizz Review

Durango Soda Company, Inc. was founded in January of 2002.  Partners Banden Zuber (hence Zuberfizz!!) and Dan Aggeler started home-brewing as roommates at Colorado State University and eventually became commercial Brewmasters.  The idea was to manufacture traditional sodas that existed decades ago by using the best ingredients and packaging available, similar to what the micro-brew industry was demonstrating.

The most important ingredient used in their sodas is pure cane sugar. Large companies have abandoned pure cane sugar to cut costs by using high-fructose corn syrup. It has been shown that this new widely-used ingredient is difficult to metabolize and is the leading cause of obesity and diabetes among Americans. Pure cane sugar also tastes much better. Every ingredient used in Durango Soda Company sodas is of the highest quality.

Packaging and the environment are also of importance to Durango Soda Company. They use glass bottles for all of their products. The old "heritage" twist-top bottle contributes to the look and feel of traditional sodas. Glass containers not only help preserve flavor, but are easier on the environment. The detergents and sanitizers they use are also worker & environmentally friendly.  After all, the 2 owners still make every batch of soda produced!

Starting with mom and pop restaurants in Durango, Zuberfizz is now available around the USA. They have also expanded into larger markets including King Sooper's, City Market, Albertson's, Cost Plus World Market and Safeway. Their hope is to further educate the consumer on their quality products and make them more available to enjoy.

I have fallen in love with Zuberfizz. It is officially my favorite brand of soda now. I have tried all of the delicious flavors they have to offer and Zuberfizz is by far a quality drink. When I twist off the top of a Zuberfizz soda I feel like I am treating myself to something special. The fact that Zuberfizz comes in a glass bottle is huge to me. The glass bottle holds the bold notes of each flavor without tainting it. When I drink from cans I have noticed I taste the aluminum or sometimes it smells yucky and I don't want the smell of the can to mix into the flavor of my soda. This is one reason why Zuberfizz is a far superior product.
I practically live off of Ginger Ale. It is a drink that I must always have in my kitchen or garage. I love the taste of it and it's refreshing but most of all it's my go to if my tummy is at all upset. 

When I had my first Zuberfizz Ginger Ale it had a flavor like no other brand. The brand I typically drink does not even taste like actual ginger.....Zuberfizz does. It has that ginger kick that you would expect with a truly quality Ginger Ale soda. 

​It's hard to say I have a favorite Zuberfizz because they are all sooooooo incredible but I found myself wishing I had more of the Strawberry Rhubarb Soda. I need cases of this. It is sweet but not overpowering. It has no icky artificial colors added. You would expect it to be pink or full of red die number whatever so I was surprised to see it pour out clear. It is beautiful and crystal clear but packed full of Strawberry Rhubarb flavor. This is a must have.
An old fashion classic and favorite for my entire family is Root Beer. We are always tasting different brands when we go to stores, restaurants and candy shops. Zuberfizz Creamy Root Beer is on the top of our list. It is amazing straight from the bottle all by itself. You can of course also create a sweet treat by pouring it over a few scoops of cold vanilla ice cream.  Zuberfizz Creamy Root Beer will be at all the BBQs I host from now on because my personal favorite way to enjoy it is with a splash of whiskey. YUMMMMMY!!! 
Zuberfizz Orange Cream Soda is another multipurpose soda. This flavor is perfection with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added in. This Orange Cream Soda is not your typical average orange soda. It is sweet, juicy, smooth and creamy. It is incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day. Both kids and adults will be grabbing this out of the cooler so make sure you buy extra.
I had never had this incredible invention before. When I saw the bottle of Zuberfizz Chocolate Cream Soda in the case that had arrive I practically knocked down my family to get to it. I pulled it out of the box and announced "this one is mine". It is a delicious, cream soda with a perfectly balanced kiss of dry chocolate flavor.This is incredible. I have never seen this flavor before and I can promise you that Zuberfizz does it the best. I will be purchasing more of this in the near future for sure and maybe I will share with the family next time....If they are lucky.
Zuberfizz has a Zey Lime Cream Soda too. This is another flavor we battled for. We finally decided we had to split it equally. Everyone tasting there own little portion of this cold, key lime drink. If you are a fan of key lime then this is the drink for you. Durango Soda Company Inc. Zuberfizz soda is top notch....it is thee best ever!! You can find Zuberfizz sodas across Colorado at your local Cost Plus World Market, King Sooper's, City Market and Safeway!  Also ask for our products at restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores across the States of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, Wyoming, Nebraska, Indiana and Illinois. 
 
You can also buy any of these flavors directly from Durango Soda Company Inc.

TrustyPup Comfort Oasis Memory Foam Dog Bed Review

My dogs love their TrustyPup Comfort Oasis Memory Foam beds. 
We put one on the living room floor and one at the foot of our bed for them to sleep in. 
The cats are even enjoying the bed. How could they not, it's so soft, comfortable and plush. 
​I wish my bed was this comfortable. 
We added the blue blanket at night for Duncan the kitty since it's been so cold. He sleeps in this bed all night.
The first night all 3 of them got in the bed, trying to figure out who it was for. I should of taken a pic, it was so cute. They looked confused. Jacky the black Shih Tzu kept going from the tan/brown to grey bed. They finally all settled on the grey one and none of them would go near the tan/brown for a few days. It was really odd, that is why I decided to  put that one upstairs. Once I did they actually started to use it. Still no clue why they wouldn't go in it downstairs. Oh well, they like it at the end of the bed. Both the girls get in it at night and I cover them up, freeing up the bed for us to sleep, I just have to give up some foot space. 
The quality of this bed is excellent. The stitching is well sewn so I don't have to worry about when they dig into it that they might snag a seam and it come undone. It's been well used in the 2 plus weeks we've had it in our home and it still looks brand new. 
The memory foam padding is thick on the bottom, the sides have a thick wall of padding so even when they stand on, sit on or walk across it, it just bounces right back. 

TrustyPet has four styles of pet beds, to give your dog superior comfort regardless of a dog's size, age or sleep style. 

The color-coded CompleteNeeds System helps you identify the ideal bed for your dog.
Pick up a TrustyPup Memory Foam bed for your pets today, they will thank you. 
Seriously these beds are so soft and comfortable.
​I wish I was small enough to cuddle up and fall asleep on one.

GoMacro Review

GoMacro believes in feeling good about what we eat- how it tastes, how it’s made, and how it sustains the environment. Family owned and based in a small rural community, their wholesome food maintains goodness on all levels. Small in size but big on impact, they are a big picture company. GoMacro believes the pursuit of health is a path of living in balance with ourselves and nature with products that have positive effects on the world.
It is important to provide your body with the fuel it needs to get through the day but you don't want to just fill it with  junk. It's difficult to function if you don't give your body the proper nutrition. We all know what it's like to be hungry or eat something that hypes us up on sugar and then makes us crash really hard. It's not good at all. It makes us grumpy, tired and feeling weak.  
"If your want to give your body the proper food, the fuel it needs to power through the day then try GoMacro bars."
If your want to give your body the proper food, the fuel it needs to power through the day then try GoMacro bars. These are the perfect snack to take with you on a hike, a camp trip or even to work. Sometimes we are too busy to stop and make a meal that has every vitamin, mineral and ingredient that we need. With GoMacro you can get all of these things quickly, on the go and even better yet......THEY TASTE DELICIOUS!!!  Seriously, how many 
times have you bought a protein bar and it tastes like dirty. You chew it down and leaves you feeling unsatisfied. GoMacro will never let you down. I was happily surprised at how incredible these bars taste. It's awesome because it fills that craving you get for something yummy as well as providing your body with the fuel it needs.
It's hard to choose but I think at least for the moment my favorite GoMacro bar is the peanut butter chocolate chip. No salt, no refined sugar, no weird ingredients. Add in GoMacros newest plant based protein blend from sprouted brown rice and peas and you end up with 12 grams protein to get you up and running. Yum!!!! The best part is the organic fair trade chocolate chips. ....what more could you ask for?
GoMacro had a huge line of bars to choose from. I personally have a tough time picking so I love, love that they have a variety box I can order. That way I get to have a little bit of everything. You can also purchase boxes of your own personal favorites and have them delivered to your home. This is super awesome because you never have to run out of you favorite GoMacro bars.

GoMacro bars come in two sizes. You can buy 2.4 oz bars that come in a pack of 12 or you can buy them individually. You can also grab some GoMacro minis that come in a case of 24. These minis make the perfect snack. You can toss them into your purse, gym bag or kids lunches.

Kieshe Foods Coffee Review & Mother's Day Giveaway

Kieshe is a U.S. based social enterprise owned by a Guatemalan small-scale farmer’s cooperative. Kishe Foods sells specialty coffee grown by small-scale farmers in the western highlands of Guatemala. Fair trade, organic and cultivated with care every step of the way. Join us...and be a part of community in a cup! 

Kieshe Foods LLC is a social enterprise founded and operated by their partner Federacion Comercializadora de Carfe Especial do Guatemala, (FECCEG).
FECCEG is a federation of 9 smallholder farmer certified organic and fair trade coffee cooperatives, comprised of roughly 1,000 small-scale farmers from the Western Highlands or Guatemala. FECCEG promotes woman's empowerment and gender equality by actively supporting woman directors and women in leadership positions in all cooperatives.

FECCEG promotes woman's empowerment and gender equality by actively supporting woman directors and women in leadership positions in all cooperatives.
I had the honor of trying the Kishe Woman-Grown coffee. It is woman-grown and handled only by women farmers during the entire process.  More than a third of Kishe Foods shareholders' farms are owned and operated by women. When  women have more influence on the farm, benefits can be directly traced to the improvement of their families' nutrition and education. Kishe continues to strive to empower more women to take leadership roles and produce high quality coffee.
WOMAN-GROWN

is a blend has delicious honey notes with a perfect hint of smooth vanilla. It leaves no bitter aftertaste and is a beautifully balance medium roast. It has a sweet, soft wine flavor with a medium lemon acidity. Brew a rich pot of Woman-Grown and enjoy an aroma filled with caramel, walnut and almond notes. Sit back and relax with this eye opening, taste bud pleasing coffee. When you buy Kishe Food Woman-Grown coffee you can smile knowing you are supporting  your fellow woman.
I could truly drink the Woman-Grown blend all day every day. I had a cup of it before my 7 hour long drive. I make this trip at least twice a month. I typically drink a large cup of coffee when I leave before my trip and then I get another huge cup on my way back home.  This time I had one cup of Woman-Grown and I found that I didn't need to stop for any more coffee on my way home. It kept me going and without any negative jittery feeling. Woman-Grown kept me going strong without needing to drink a gallon of it. I received a bag that was ground.  I found that it was perfectly ground to fill my reusable K-Cup and put in my single serve coffee maker with no issue. The size of the grind is the perfect size.....it did not compress to tight or seep through into my cup. I am sooooo happy knowing it will brew easily in my K-Cup, French Press and drip machine. YAY!!

My dogs loves theses small treats. But even more my cats think they are for them. As soon as I opened up the box from Loving Pets and set them out both cats came running. Duncan the big orange kitty took over as if they were instantly his. He for some reason thinks he is part dog. 
Jack our little Shih Tzu likes these the most since they are a soft treat. She has very small teeth so anything on the soft side is always her favorite. 
The small carabiner on the bag is perfect for attaching to their leash for taking the treats on a walk. When they listen and sit I give them a treat. 
Perfect little treats. 

Perfect treats for our mini dachshund. 
Promote your pet's active lifestyle with this affordable treat fortified with significant levels of veterinarian recommended supplements.

She loves these jerky style treats and doesn't even realize she is eating something that is helping her.

T.M. Ward Coffee Review & 20% off Discount Code

T.M.Ward Coffee selects and roasts coffee from all over the world and delivers it to you with any grind you need. Coffee is roasted every day. They also offer a wide range of tea (loose and boxed), dried fruits, nuts, sweets and honey. They sell both retail and wholesale, in their store and online.
T.M. Ward first opened it's doors in 1869. Timothy Michael Ward along with his wife Mary opened the store in the Newark area and soon became a household name known for their great selection and tasting coffee. In the early 1900s after Timothy Ward past away, Mary sold the company to Robert Sommer Juniors Great Grandfather. He took over as owner of T.M. Ward Coffee. He had years of experience working with coffee in the greater New York-New Jersey area selling, trading and importing coffee. He expanded the line of coffee without losing it's amazing quality. Soon after graduating from Rutgers University, Roberts grandfather, William Sommer, joined the company as the first on -the-street salesman. He covered the greater Newark area educating the people about Ward’s coffee. By the late 1950s Ward Coffee had nearly tripled in size and needed a bigger location. They still wanted to keep a store front for walk-in customers and 944 Broad St. became the new location for the business.Roberts father, also joined the company. At this point they again expanding the coffee selection and started bringing in nuts, dried fruit and candy to the store. The company soon expanded adding more packaging machines and grinders, adding equipment servicing and increasing the delivery service.

Now the Sommer boys are proud to be the fourth generation of Sommers at Ward Coffee-- with over a 145 years of experience and still in the heart of Newark. They are carrying on the family tradition with the same motto: Great coffee at a fair price, along with all of the other products they have to offer. The knowledge, craftmanship and love for coffee can be tasted in every cup of Ward Coffee.

I have been super lucky to have the pleasure of tasting multiple roasts of T.M. Ward coffee.  I am blown away at how many different roast they offer. I would love to one day go to their location, sit down and just sip each one. They have a huge variety of Estates Coffee, Flavored Coffee and even Green Coffee. Their green coffee intrigues me I think I am forced to give it a try. Until then I am LOVING the variety of Estate coffees that I have.
T.M. Ward Coffee comes in every shape and form. They offer K-Cups, Whole Bean, Ground Perc, Ground Auto Drip, Ground Espresso and Ground Fine. No need for you own grind if your don't have one T.M. Ward has got you covered. Just pick how you want it and they will ship it right to your front door.  I got K-Cups and Whole Bean. 
Obviously the K-Cups are heaven if you are super crazy busy like I am. Most of the time I need a delicious cup of hot coffee and quick. Between work, sports and kids I want to just grab a k-cup, pop it in the coffee maker and have my coffee ready to go. I swear half the boxes of k-cup in my photo are already empty because I have been living off of T.M. Ward singles ever since they arrived.
T.M. Ward Silk is exactly that....Silk. It is my personal go-to favorite of the roasts I have tried. I know that when I make a cup of Silk I will be enjoying it to the fullest. There is no bitter aftertaste, it is smooth and delicious. I just add a touch of cream and it's perfect for me. Silk Signature Blend is the "white table cloth of all coffees." They combine Sumatra Mandehling, Kenya AA and their Full-City roast, creating a coffee that's deep and dark, yet smooth.  
​​
T.M. Ward K-cups have been working like a charm in my Keurig. I have noticed some brand K-Cups tend to make my Keurig a bit sassy if you know what I mean. With T.M. Ward k-cups I have no issues, no mid brewing messages like, content under pressure or not compatible with this machine. No hassle no problems. These single serve cups work perfectly the first time with no fuss.
The House Blend is another favorite of mine. I can drink it all day it's so good. My man has been drinking the T.M. Ward Bold Justice Dark Roast. It is right up his alley. He is a huge lover of dark, bold coffee so this is perfection.
Before Samuel Alito was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by then President George W. Bush, he served in Newark N.J. as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. At that time, his law clerks wanted to do something special for his birthday, so they persuaded T.M. Ward Coffee Co. to come up with this bold blend just for him and he drinks it to this very day!  
T.M. Ward Whole Bean coffee is amazing. Look at how beautiful the beans are. They glisten with oil and beg to be ground up and steeped in hot water. Yummmmmy!! Our favorite way to enjoy this is rich coffee is to make in in a french press.

Garden State This coffee is a three-bean roast that is deep, dark, rich, bold -- yet smooth. It keeps you coming back for more.

We have also been enjoying the Full City blend in whole bean. This coffee is a three-bean dark roast. It is strong in body, yet silky smooth -- with an emphasis on bold-sweet flavors. ​ 
Make sure you check out all of T.M. Ward Coffees and while you're on the site look through the teas, nuts, dried fruits, sweets, honey and butters.  There are also some truly incredible gift baskets to choose from.

Halo Top Review & Giveaways

Picture

Finally, Healthy Ice Cream
that actually tastes like ice cream

If you are lucky enough to find them all ( I can't I live in a small town) Halo Top comes in 17 yummy flavors to satisfy any ice cream/sweets craving without all the guilt. 
Halo Top is low-calorie, high-protein, and low-sugar.
 Made from the best, all-natural ingredients allow the ice cream to tastes just like
regular ice cream. 
Picture

Halo Top is the perfect ice cream for those of you eating a Keto lifestyle. Since it's low carb you can still treat yourself to something sweet from time to time. 
Anyone watching their calories, carbs or sugar intake Halo Top is the ice cream for them. 

Here is what I thought:
I have only tried The Birthday Cake & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, both were excellent, creamy, smooth and had a wonderful true to the name taste. 
I did feel that these are both better in small quantities. Maybe since I am not a sweets eater, to someone that likes sweets you might be able to sit and eat the whole pint, not me. I was lucky to have 3-4 spoons full. Especially of the Birthday Cake flavor, it was on the sweeter/richer side. 
But I was happy with the small amounts I had. I did eat a little every night until they were gone and yes I did share. But if my boyfriend had it his way he would of ate the whole container in one night. 

Birthday Cake is packed full of sprinkles and the base of this ice cream tastes like your eating a moist yellow cake with very sweet stevia made frosting. The stevia flavor did turn me off some. I am not a stevia flavor fan, that is why I stay away from sweets while on Keto, I can usually just go without. 
It was still good, if you like cake, frosting and sprinkes
this is a good way to eat them. 

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, I liked this flavor a lot more. It's PACKED full of chunks of cookie dough, that was my favorite part. The base of this flavor was on the plain side, more of just a vanilla flavor but still good. It didn't have the stevia overpowering taste like the birthday cake flavor had. Overall of the two Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was my favorite. I hope to be able to try more flavors in the future. 

Since I live in a smaller town our stores seem to carry very few flavors. I could only find 3-4 per store and they were the same in all the stores. I picked these two flavors to review since the others were just plain chocolate and vanilla and I found strawberry at one store. I hope to be able to find more flavors to try soon.
